PrEP, PEP & DoxyPEP
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP at Reza Health
At Reza Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive care and preventive options to protect your health. One of the key ways we help prevent the transmission of HIV is through PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP—medications designed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission for individuals at high risk. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take control of your sexual health, and these preventive treatments are an important part of that.
How Do PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Work?
- PrEP is a preventive measure that you take daily before any possible HIV exposure. It builds up in your system and keeps you protected, allowing you to reduce the risk of infection over time.
- PEP is an emergency treatment taken after a potential exposure to HIV. You must start it within 72 hours for it to be effective. It works to stop the virus from taking hold in your body and is intended to be used in urgent situations.
- DoxyPEP is an antibiotic that works as a post-exposure measure to reduce the risk of HIV infection. It is typically used after potential exposure to HIV, especially in specific at-risk populations, and is taken within 72 hours of exposure for the best results.
Why Choose Reza Health for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP?
At Reza Health, we are dedicated to providing the most effective, people-centered care. We understand the importance of HIV prevention and are committed to helping you make informed decisions about your health. Whether you’re looking to start PrEP for long-term prevention, need PEP after a potential exposure, or are interested in DoxyPEP as an additional option, our team will guide you through the process with professionalism and compassion.
We believe in giving you the tools to take control of your sexual health while ensuring that your well-being is our top priority.
PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication that can significantly reduce your risk of getting HIV. PrEP is recommended for individuals who are at high risk for HIV exposure, including those with an HIV-positive partner, individuals who engage in unprotected sex, or those who inject drugs. When taken consistently, PrEP can lower the risk of contracting HIV by up to 99%.
At Reza Health, we help individuals understand how to use PrEP effectively. During your consultation, we will assess your risk factors, provide guidance on how to take the medication properly, and monitor your health regularly to ensure the treatment is working effectively.
PEP (Post-exposure Prophylaxis) is an emergency medication that can be taken within 72 hours after a potential HIV exposure, such as unprotected sex or needle sharing. PEP works by preventing the virus from taking hold in the body, but it is most effective when started as soon as possible after exposure. It is important to start PEP as soon as possible for the best chance of preventing HIV infection.
At Reza Health, we provide PEP services to individuals who believe they have been exposed to HIV. If you’ve had a possible exposure, don’t wait—contact us right away. We’ll evaluate your situation and prescribe PEP if appropriate. PEP is a 28-day course of treatment that is highly effective when taken as prescribed.
DoxyPEP is a newer option for HIV prevention that involves the use of doxycycline, an antibiotic, as a post-exposure option to prevent HIV infection. DoxyPEP is typically taken after possible exposure to HIV and has shown promise in clinical trials as a way to reduce the risk of HIV transmission, particularly in individuals who engage in high-risk sexual activity.
DoxyPEP works by preventing HIV from establishing itself in the body, much like PEP. However, it is typically prescribed for people who are at higher risk and for whom PrEP might not be the right option. Like PEP, DoxyPEP must be taken soon after exposure to be effective—ideally within 72 hours.
At Reza Health, we will assess your risk factors and determine whether DoxyPEP is the best option for you. Our goal is to help you protect yourself from HIV exposure in a way that is effective and fits with your lifestyle.
These HIV prevention options are designed for individuals who are at increased risk of HIV exposure. This may include:
- People who have an HIV-positive partner or individuals in serodiscordant relationships (where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative).
- People who engage in unprotected sex with partners whose HIV status is unknown or at high risk for HIV.
- People who inject drugs or share needles.
- People who have been exposed to HIV through unprotected sex, needle sharing, or other forms of exposure.
If you’re considering PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP, the first step is to schedule a consultation at Reza Health. During your visit, we’ll evaluate your individual risk factors and discuss the most appropriate preventive treatment for you. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation: We will ask about your sexual health history, any potential HIV exposures, and your lifestyle to determine if you’re a good candidate for PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP.
- Medical Assessment: We may perform a blood test to assess your overall health, including an HIV test. We’ll also check your kidney function, as some medications require monitoring.
- Prescribing the Right Treatment: Based on your evaluation, we will recommend the most suitable preventive medication—PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP—and provide instructions on how to use it effectively.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Support: We will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your health, check for any side effects, and ensure that you are staying on track with your treatment. We also provide ongoing counseling and education about safe practices to further reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
If you are interested in learning more about PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP, or if you’ve had a potential exposure and need immediate care, contact Reza Health today. Our team is here to provide you with the support, care, and resources you need to protect yourself from HIV.
